As with the rest of the range, the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 101 summer tire was designed with a focus on handling, not comfort. Although a lot has been done in this direction, which made it possible to give this model a good balance. Perhaps this is the reason for its popularity among domestic motorists.
Excellent dry handling and reliable wet grip
A significant part of the many advantages of this model is provided due to the features hidden within its design. One of them is the variable curvature of the tread profile. With the help of this solution, the specialists of the British brand managed to significantly increase the area of the contact patch. The result is improved grip on dry roads. In addition, the use of a multi-radius tread profile significantly improves traction stability, which makes itself felt in the rain in the form of very reliable and predictable behavior.
High efficiency in acceleration and deceleration
The tread of this tire is made of a rubber compound with a very wide range of physical and chemical properties. Its increased content of silica and the presence of special soot particles provide increased elasticity, combined with good wear resistance and tensile strength. In real use, these features translate into excellent tread performance during acceleration and deceleration.
Summer tires Dunlop SP SPORT MAXX combine all the best experiences and traditions of quality with the latest achievements in the development of new technologies. The very high reliability and controllability of the tire are maintained at any degree of road moisture.
The use of MRT technology (multi-radius tread) allows for to evenly distribution of the pressure in the contact area of the tire with the road surface and increases the contact patch area. This has a positive effect on the stability and handling of the vehicle.
Symmetrical hydraulic cavities provide efficient hydraulic drainage and thus reduce slipping on wet roads. The tire does not lose controllability on track roads due to its design (the use of a shielding layer in the form of a steel belt and weaving of polyamide and aramid fibers has a positive effect on controllability in the track).
The rubber compound contains a unique polymer that makes the tread material more uniform, elastic, and durable. The tread pattern provides not only stability and controllability of the tire but also high acoustic comfort.
Main features of Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 101
- "multi-radius" tread profile improves grip on dry roads, gives reliability and stability in rain conditions;
- an optimized rubber compound with a high content of silica and soot particles improves grip on wet roads, ensures the integrity of the tread during significant longitudinal acceleration and driving at high speed;
- multi-step arrangement of tread blocks improves acoustic comfort;
- the carcass, made using seamless cord winding technology, improves directional stability, reduces the level of tire heating during high-speed movement.
